Replacing the Maintenance Tank

The maintenance tank stores ink that gets flushed from the
system during the initial ink charge and manual and
automatic print head cleaning. When the tank is almost full,
the message
MAINTENANCE TANK NEAR FULL
the LCD display. When the tank is completely full, the printer
stops working and
the LCD.
You can check how much space remains in the maintenance
tank by viewing its icon on the control panel, shown below.
You can also check its status using the menus, using your
printer software, or by printing a nozzle check sheet.
*The Epson Stylus Pro 9880 has two maintenance tank icons.
The icons show the percentage of space remaining in the
tank(s) as follows:
100–81%
The Epson Stylus Pro 7880 has one maintenance tank (on the
right side), and the 9880 has two (one on either side).
Replacement tanks are available from Epson (part number
C12C890191).
The printer will not print if one of the maintenance tanks is
full. On the Epson Stylus Pro 9880, the right tank is used
more than the left. To maximize tank life, you can switch the
tanks when the right tank reaches approximately 40% to 60%
of capacity.
Follow these steps to replace the tank:
1. Make sure the printer is not printing or performing any
other operations (
the LCD display).
2. If you have the Epson Stylus Pro 9880, check the LCD
display to determine which tank needs to be replaced (left or
right).
